from previous year too. The cost per animal is not calculated by the current years intake. So, I feel like it is possible that higher cost could be an indicator of longer LOS. It also could be an indicator of type of shelter/rescue. There may be individual person rescues for example.
Live Release Rate: Adopted + Returned / Adopted + Returned + Euthanized
Boxplot cleaning info:
When removing years where facilities didn’t report an operating cost, operation costs less than 6, and outliers, there were 1072 instances from 2010 to 2022
There were 3 different outcomes listed for each shelter, adopted, returned, and euthanized. The adopted, returned, and euthanized rate is calculated by outcome / sum(3 outcomes).
As dogs and cat live release outcomes get better, can the same be said for other animals. To start, we can see from the graphic below that over the years, the live release rate of cats and dogs has increased. Next, we will look at other animals
We have 11 other animal groups. Since it made the graphic look a little crazy, the other animals were split between two graphics
We can see that some animals have higher live release rates than other animals. Compared to the dog and cat graphic, the increase for some other animals was much more sporadic. Sometimes jumping up by 0.5 on the live relase rate
